Why Most Incumbents Should Forget About Platforms and Build Consumption Ecosystems (144)

This week’s podcast is Production and Consumption Ecosystems as digital business models. This thinking is mostly by Professor Mohan Subramaniam, who wrote the book The Future of Competitive Strategy: Unleashing the Power of Data and Digital Ecosystems.

You can listen to this podcast here, which has the slides and graphics mentioned. Also available at iTunes and Google Podcasts.

My 9 digital business models are:

1. Linear business models (i.e., pipelines)
2. Production Ecosystems
3. Consumption Ecosystems
4. Company Ecosystems
5. Platforms
6. Pipeline plus Platform Business Model
7. Protocol networks (i.e., blockchains) as stand-alone businesses
8. Platform-protocol hybrids
9. Protocol ecosystems (i.e., building blocks)
